Tip time: Ivey will start for 76ers

Former Bucks guard Royal Ivey will get a starting assignment against his old team Tuesday night.

Philadelphia coach Doug Collins said Ivey would start in the backcourt with Jrue Holiday and Dorell Wright will come off the bench. It's a move made to counter the Bucks' speed in the backcourt with Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis.

"We cannot guard Monta Ellis and Jennings with Evan (Turner) and Dorell (Wright)," Collins said. "That's not a good matchup for us. We've got to put speed out there with him (Holiday).

"It's not anything Dorell did not do, but we've got to have a better matchup to start the game. We can't be asking Evan to chase Monta Ellis."

Wright started Monday in the 76ers' 90-85 home loss to the San Antonio Spurs. He had three points and four rebounds in 16 minutes. NIck Young played 31 minutes off the bench while Turner played 42 minutes and had 18 points and 12 rebounds.

Collins was asked if the Bucks backcourt is the fastest in the league.

"What they've got now is rim protection. These guards can gamble. (Ersan) Ilyasova is second or leads the league in charges taken. You've got Larry Sanders who leads in shot blocking. You've got Sam Dalembert and you've got (John) Henson.

"So they've got four guys that can really play around that basket. When you do that now, you let guys take risks you wouldn't normally take. They create all kinds of problems with that in the open court, Ellis and Jennings."

Bucks coach Jim Boylan said Marquis Daniels was sick and would be inactive for the game. And rookie Doron Lamb, just back from two games in the NBA Development League, suffered a sprained ankle and also would be inactive.
